Personal Statement.

I am an Academician specialising in Cybersecurity, with a focus on Digital Forensics, Information Security, Governance, Risk and Compliance (GRC). My work focuses on Ethics and legal issues related to the Information Technology world. I am also an enthusiast of Green Computing and promoting good ethical practices in the IT world. My experiences while working in both the private and public sectors in Nigeria and the United Kingdom shaped my outlook towards life, especially on how to transfer knowledge and skills acquired from one area of operation to another. My goal is to increase the degree of awareness people should have concerning practicing good ethics in their professions, while increasing my knowledge base as well.
